The Tasman Institute was founded by Michael G. Porter in 1990 as a neoliberal think tank, based on his attempts in 1987 to found a private university and his earlier think tank, the Centre of Policy Studies. During the 1990s, it became one of the three largest neo-liberal think tanks in Australia.[1] Through its consultancy arm, Tasman Asia-Pacific, it advised Asia-Pacific and Eastern European countries on privatisation and deregulation,[2] in what academic Damien Cahill identifies as a rare example of a think tank "that puts neo-liberal theory into practice".[3]
The Tasman Institute consulted for the Greiner government in 1991 on the privatisation of the Hunter Water Board.
With the libertarian think tank the Institute of Public Affairs, and funding from Victorian employer associations, the Tasman Institute prepared "Project Victoria" which proposed a neo-liberal program for the incoming Kennett government.[4] The Tasman Institute was also awarded a government contract to consult on electricity privatisation in the state. Transport Minister Alan Brown would later describe the Tasman Institute as having a "profound effect" on government policy.
In 1995, the Tasman Institute and Tasman Asia-Pacific affiliated with the University of Melbourne.
